My suggestion for Kourend would be to give it a more unified feel to it. right now it feels like 5 separate cities that are stuck together and don't really complement each other.
Right now it feels like you stuck a human town, and put a dwarf city next to it, then stuck a pirate village next to that, and than a lunar magic colony to the north.
Its lacking heavily in a common theme, these groups don't really belong together well.
My suggestion would be to scrap all the different cultures and make it one common culture. So, make all the buildings are similar skin, with slight variation from house to house, and make it so it is a predominantly human city with a common religion, same festivals, same holidays, same language, just similar culture in general.
The difference will come with the different industries present in the city. Each house will be the running that particular industry in the city. With each industry being essential to the survival and success of the city as a whole. This would lead to political clash between these houses ,each struggling for power and control over the other houses.
A similar culture would give a feel of infighting among a common community as oppose to fighting between separate groups all together.
Right now it feels like Varrock, the Lunar isles, Kel**grim, and Catherby are all fighting each other as oppose to Consortium rivalry, or Black Arm, Phoenix gang rivalry
